Makes supplemental appropriation of $3.5 million for Community College Opportunity Grant-Adult Postsecondary Career and Technical Education.
This bill provides an additional $3.5 million in state funding for the Community College Opportunity Grant (CCOG) program, specifically targeting adult students in career and technical education programs. It directly affects eligible adult New Jersey residents enrolled in county vocational school programs (minimum four months) who have annual incomes between $0 and $65,000. The grant covers remaining tuition and approved fees after students apply for all other available state, federal, and institutional financial aid. To qualify, students must be in good academic standing, enrolled in at least six credits, and have no outstanding grant debts or loan defaults. The funding is supplemental to existing appropriations and aims to reduce financial barriers for career-focused adult education.
